SUNNYVALE, Calif. -
Sacramento State posted a seven-run rally in the top of the seventh inning on Sunday morning as the Hornets beat UC Davis 7-2 to claim seventh place at the National Invitational Softball Tournament.

The Aggies fell to 4-22 on the season while Sacramento State, which has beaten UC Davis in all six meetings this year, is 13-11. Megan De La Hoya and Megan Turman each had two hits for the Aggies with De La Hoya collecting a double.

UC Davis scored twice in the third inning for a 2-0 lead, an advantage it held into the top of the seventh. With one out and none on in their final at-bat, however, the Hornets rallied.

Three errors by UC Davis and four hits by Sacramento State, including a three-run double to left by Teri Ann Caogan helped the Hornets post their seven runs. Brittany Crine had an RBI triple and pitcher Brianne Ferguson had a run-scoring single.

Lindsay Tognetti started the game for the Aggies and was relieved in the seventh by both Stacey Benzing and Lauren Pieretti. Tognetti went 6.1 innings, striking out six and walking just three. None of the Hornets' runs in the game were earned.
